From the very beginning, Chris has made it a priority to build strong relationships with his employees and coworkers, and I have been fortunate to experience this firsthand. Chris's mentorship has been invaluable to me. He is always available to offer guidance and support, and his recommendations of books on leadership, strategy, and team cultivation have profoundly impacted my personal and professional development. His dedication to my growth was evident when he traveled to my home in Atlanta for a week to work with me one-on-one, despite his busy schedule. This level of commitment is unparalleled and speaks volumes about his character and leadership style. Working with Chris has been a fun and challenging journey. He consistently provides opportunities for me to learn and be involved in higher-level projects, helping me to expand my skills and knowledge. Under his guidance, I have grown significantly over the past year, and I attribute much of this growth to his mentorship and support.

Chris is not only a seasoned technical leader but also a true servant leader who consistently puts the growth and well-being of their team members first. Chris has read hundreds of books on leadership, technology, Agile principles, and developing teams into high-performing teams. He is one of the best I've been around at building leaders. He gave me my first opportunity to be a development manager, and I've always been grateful for what I've learned from him. He has a keen understanding of industry trends, emerging technologies, and customer needs, and he consistently aligns our engineering efforts with the broader organizational goals, ensuring that our products remain innovative and competitive. In summary, Chris is a remarkable VP of Software Engineering who combines technical expertise with servant leadership, vision, and team engagement.
